Orbi MR 2.1 Update 3/23/18
Our teams are still working through the issues, but I wanted to provide a quick update on OrbiOS 2.1. We usually wait to release our software until it's available across all Orbi product lines, but ...

When i try to use the same file to update the router i get the following "This firmware file is incorrect! Please get the firmware file again and make sure it is the correct firmware for this product."
Just curious what i am doing wrong. I did download multiple times and it seems to be working on the satellites.
I am in high hopes that this fixes satellites being disconnected because i am at the end of my rope on this issue.
And i just realized that router is actually a different model number. (facepalm)
V2.1.3.4 firmware has been good no crashes for a week (used to happen almsot twice a day)
have noticed some *dns dropping(what my software complains about) related lag if mildly (5-10mbs) using more then 5 devices regardless if LAN or WAN ** havent had time to play with it
also have allot of false DoS attack rst scanns from google/amazon/netflix servers sometimes heavy playback lag of videos is created because of it.
Is this normal for a RBK53 with no daisy-chaining topology, Beamforming, MU-MIMO, and fast roaming?
What are LAN 1 and LAN 2?
I seem to recall LAN 1 and LAN 2 having a value before.
Sorry ... previous post timed out as I was trying to replace the picture.

LAN 1,2 and 3 are the ethernet ports on the back of the router. According to your attached image, you have an ethernet/wired network device plugged into LAN 2
- I have had some DNS issues too. Did a paper clip reset and they stopped. Not sure if that was the difference. A friend of mine on the beta firmware was having dns issues too going to basic sites like gmail would say it couldn’t get there.
It's highly recommeded to do a factory reset after upgrading FW and set up from scratch. I've seen issues myself and other with just upgrading FW over top of prior FW and having issues. Doing a full factory reset on the entire system after a FW update then setup from scratch resolves these issues.

A friend of mine on the beta firmware was having dns issues too going to basic sites like gmail would say it couldn’t get there.It's been a full week since updating to V2.1.3.4. We've not experienced any of the network issues on iOS devices that we were seeing before.
- router mode
- beamforming, and fast-roaming ENABLED
- MU-MIMO DISABLED
- satellites got factory reset witht the update; router WAS NOT reset
Seems solid so far.
